you,
desolate shadow of existence
Sexed up and used by their persistence,
You'r admirations and aspirations
Are the apple cores
Planting seeds in my belly
Despite my resistance.

The heart wants what the heart wants. The brain butts in and **** blocks our most valued, raw feelings, feelings that could only originate from the pumping muscle in your chest that hurts after hearing tom petty or watching your favorite TV show's last episode fade away into the sunset.
   In a rare scenario where a man rolls off of his lady friend and has lit his nightcap cigarette, and STILL feels a sharp pang of affection for such partner,  the man should ******* follow his heart, and become that cliche that 15 year old girls get wet over. Stay with that woman, I don't care if you've *****, pillaged, or ravaged, whether you deserve that pretty girl or not you chase after her. Don't listen to you're head, you're head is what makes your **** hard. Follow you're ******* heart, because I swear on my lucky cigarette that your mind (along with your ****) will give out long before your heart will.
Smell of wine and cheap perfume...

**** myself, present tense
Bury me with all the presidents.
Give me liberty,
or give me death.
Give me a Marlboro for my last breath.

Putrid stench
I **** myself.
Take my insurance, inherit my wealth.
Just get me away
from my smell.
Give me chapstick for my last breath haha

Shriveled up,
the body was
as it lay in shambles
behind the bus

No longer a person
no certain gender
globs of brain and hair
stuck to the fender

Screams were heard
across the street
as the driver stumbled out
and collapsed to his knees

Tears trailed down
his stubbly cheeks
as he crawled his way
down the street

He stared in disbelief
at the heap
of skin, blood, bones and ****
at his feet

He started to *****
and started to pray
he ran his son over
on father's day.

A young activist with a problem, with something to say,
to prove a point he sat in a glass box for an entire summer day.
The glass got hot with time, and to the entire community's dismay,
he got so hot his skin bubbled, puddled, popped and sprayed.
Now his mother wails over peace , she wanted to cool down the iron fist,
She couldn't even put out the fire that burned her young activist.

Run the stop signs.
Let the phones ring.
Let the man upstairs try to deal with the problems
the people bring.
Where is Jesus,
when daddy throws a fit?
When ***** smokes her ***?
When mommy ***** the mailman?
Where is the higher power,
when we are at our knees at our darkest hour?

We assume cats and dogs don't have souls
because they don't have the opposable thumbs to drive
themselves to church on Sunday mornings.
God rest their souls,
when we put them in little holes
in the ground.

What if Christ came back just as naked as he supposedly left us ,
but we put him into prison with a ruthless charge of public indecency?
We would be guilty as a society,
for imprisoning our "Top priority".

I pledge allegiance,
to the flag,
of a united state
that consists of stock market ******,
politics,
****, and hate.

One nation,
without a vision,
under a god,
who dominates all religion.
A "majestic" nation,
who defends itself with nuclear fission.
If you are looking for liberty,
you better keep wishin'.

"Indivisible"
but devised into fifty states of gray.
Freedom of speech itself,
can deprive you of what you need to say.
**** your liberty, just because you can ******* my integrity ,
doesn't mean you can get the best of me.
Just because I dress like this,
doesn't mean I'm a communist.

Blacked out with a pale face,
she can’t stop time but she did find space
to replace
the splinters and lies that filled up her mind.
She got tattoos of things she didn't understand,
and became an expert later.

We’re all better together,
but banana pancakes didn't make her pain go away.
William Barry Jun 2014
Snark, waspy, narcissistic
rude, racist, pessimistic
pretty blonde hair
with her ruby red lipstick
she tastes so sweet but her thoughts are sadistic
I want out,
but I want in,
I can't resist it
Pardon me, Polly
Can I take you off my wish list?
Sex
William Barry Jun 2014
***
Making love,
a sweaty pit stop
between the sheets.
Politicians,
librarians,
directors,
janitors,
authors,
qu­eens,
kings,
moms,
you,
me,
All guilty of this bittersweet act of sticky significance.
All willing to tangle our limbs every night.
William Barry Jul 2014
There was once a beast,
who shaved the insecurities
of our society
with a blade of ugly
that was too painful to see
Slight cuts made our eyes bleed,
and his aftershave was our precious need.
William Barry Jul 2015
In this world I don't try too hard
I slide on by
Unable to insure my car
And I don't believe In God, despite what people say
But if God is real
Then by God, ill start to pray
Because earth is a cesspool
And I think it'd be cool
To sprout angel wings when I die
And fly away
But until then I'll slide on by
Sinning in the cesspool
To pass the time
William Barry Jul 2014
Dipped in grease
and drowned in ****
Society gives back,
but only to the pegs that fit.
William Barry Jun 2014
Given in,
Given up.
The leaves sacrificed themselves for winter,
yet the trees didn't seem to give a ****.
The trees make letting things go so easy.
       If we were able to let things go and watch such things fall away from our branches and wither away and die into little colorful piles on the dirt, for colorful sticky little people to jump into and send flying into the air,
     we would have no "care".
               There would no loss, tears, Kurt Cobains or fears
               of losing the ones we love.
There wouldn't be Hallmark cards for issues.
Kleenex would stop making tissues
and start making plastic plants or cheap patio furniture.
Unfortunately, we are not trees.
We cannot let go of our leaves.
hmm...
William Barry Jun 2014
The old street people might make you sick
but I've got a feeling
they don't give a ****
The old street people might make you sick
and I've got a feeling
that they're enjoying it.
Stay stoopid

Insomnia drips, then floods,
stealing your dreams,
like someone building dams,
diminishing rivers to streams.

Hangovers steal the nights,
that you wish weren't quite over,
pummeling your head with pain
as you wake up slightly sober.

Pretty girls flood in and flood out,  
stealing your thoughts as they travel,
revealing the mystique
that you were too quick to unravel.

The grunge street people lower their eyes,
as you steal a glance.
What you don't realize your stealing is their pride,
as you stride by in your iron pressed pants.

The night steals the day,
in a colorful sunset.
Only to let the sun rise up once again
as if filled with regret.
Open your eyes

Smirked at, ****** on, pushed around, beat down
The ***** street corner is Tipsy Trixie's sin city playground.
She charges cheap,
because the black asphalt radiates the smoldering mid-July heat.
She hums "Hey Jude" as she struts up and down 9th Street.
She can't wear layers in the winter, because nobody can see the goods
underneath leg warmers , gloves, furs, and hoods.

Now Trixie is pregnant, 4 months...she's starting to show.
The days are getting longer but the business is slow.
"The Man" doesn't know.
He won't know...he can never know.
Trixie's been warned about the man.
He'll beat her up, and slice her open,
like a Chef Boyardee ravioli can.
Then he''ll sew her up and throw her back on 9th street,
to meet supply and demand.
William Barry Jun 2014
Cheap mascara ruined.
Trixie started to cry,
as she watched the doctors
rot the apple of her eye.

Not with worms,
and not with disease,
but with scalpels and masks,
holstered with their fancy degrees.

As the gas evicted her
from our reality,
she slipped into a false state
of peaceful prosperity.

Then came along,
to Trixie's surprise,
an image of an angel
descending from the skies.

The angel was sarcastic,
and foul and rude,
appearing drunken and angry,
ruining her sedated mood.

The angel stumbled up,
and slurred some words,
about how only humans killed their offspring,
never the bees or the birds.

Then the angel smirked,
and said "*******!"
Not only did you manage to **** one,
but two.

Trixie died inside,
just as Trixie's twins
died alive.
Insomnia inspired Trixie's rude awakening, sorry for the ****** quality.

Tipsy Trixie likes to do blow.
Coffee, blow.
    Lunch, blow.
       Shopping, blow.
For Trixie, that's how life goes,
A long line of genocide
    Going up into her nose
Before a cold, bare floor catches Trixie's clothes,
in an attempt to add to her stash
Of street corner cash
All wrapped up in rolls.

Selling herself short just to finance the blow,
She'll soon snort herself cold,
or maybe she'll get **** rich and forever swim in her snow.

But I'm no dreamer,
And trixie's a coke *****.
Another street corner dime
Just looking to score.
When this winter blows over
She'll be sniffing for more.
Back at it I guess
William Barry Jun 2014
Stuck in this whirlwind, lungs collapsed.
“Cut the grass, go to college, kid.”
Pick up the slack.
Simplicity doesn't exist in a world of
blue collars, white collars,
greasy politics and misfits.
Be the one percent who picks up the rotten scent,
like a truffle pig striving for a win.
I want a girl to pop my thought bubbles with a safety pin.
“Pitter, patter”,
sounds of summer rain and the innocent.
When you have a dream, follow it,
because it’s hard to chase after something when you've forgotten it’s existence.
I don’t know what to do when I grow up,
I refuse to get stuck, but it’s hard to go anywhere in life
when you associate all of your accomplishments with luck.
People who eat people must be the luckiest people in the world,
because they don’t seem to have to worry about
taxes, religion, homework, or girls.
Worrying makes me puke,
and ironically enough,
I doubt that worrying makes cannibals hurl.
William Barry Jun 2014
Buried in a place deep beneath my sea
rests a chest that betrays
my beliefs and priorities.
Within this chest,
secrets that nobody knows.
Because this chest dwells
in a place that nobody goes.
A place where Dr. Seuss
perverts my brain.
A place that should you go,
you would go insane.
The problem with this chest,
is that I've lost the key,
and alongside with it,
my beliefs and priorities.
William Barry Jun 2014
The good die young
                         The young die dumb
                                         We didn't iron our shirts
                                                          ­I guess we're not chosen ones.

People are eternal guidelines
for universal mistakes.
All our petty *******,
our lies and our fakes.
We close our eyes at night,
and drift off to sleep.
Only to awaken
to expectations too steep.

— The End —
